Encrypt in iPGMail >>> Decrypt in Enigmail (Error)

Which error message do you get?

[Patrick Brunschwig]

Ideally, please send an encrypted mail from iPGMail to Ludwig and myself:
patrick AT enigmail DOT net
ludwig AT enigmail DOT net

The "PGP/MIME" messages sent from iPGMail have the following structure. This is clearly not a PGP/MIME message, but just a bunch of crap with a (potentially) encrypted MIME message part.

I think Enigmail can work around this in quite a similar way as we already do for Exchange messages from Apple Mail.

[Olav Seyfarth]

Well, yes, but in contrast to chances to be heard by Microsoft to make them change Exchange (all versions!), chances are that iPGMail devs will actually fix it and create proper PGP/MIME: https://ipgmail.com/support/

[Patrick Brunschwig]

I sent them an email ...

[Patrick Brunschwig]

I already got a reply from the iPGMail developer. If you use the default iOS mailer (I think via iCloud) then the message arrives broken. However, if you configure your own SMTP server, then the messages should be OK.

Rico, could you try this?
